Stuart Jonas Reich’s Reviews

Mr Reich was very friendly to me & my husband since the very beginning 6 months ago. He helped us with forms and questions regarding my immigration case. He always replied my emails immediately even though when he was on vacation ! I could say he handled my case professionally, he is just someone that you know you can trust and he did his best for us.

We have consulted Stuart for our green card cases. USCIS made errors when processing our cases, and the situation was further complicated when we received a couple of confusing immigration interview requests. Luckily, Stuart is extremely knowledgeable, not only about the immigration law, but also about every detail of the process and how to best interact with USCIS. He gave us crucial and detailed (step-by-step) advice on what to do next and how to handle interviews. Following his advice, the problem got fixed immediately and our interviews went very well -- everything works like a charm, and we got our green cards!

I'm really happy that we have found Stuart. He is brilliant, extremely professional, and very reliable and considerate. He wants to spend time on our cases, listens to us patiently and carefully, and never let go even small issues. I have worked with several immigration lawyers in the past, and clearly Stuart is the best. I will absolutely recommend him.

I was really disappointed by the attitude of this lawyer. I found this lawyer on AVVO and decided to consult him about my immigration issue. My choice was based mostly on the apparently stellar reviews on his page. I called him up and set up a paid phone consultation. After a series of email exchanges with him answering my questions as they arose, I decided I'd retain him to help with my application. After mentioning this to him, he promised to get back to me the next day with the paperwork needed for the application. This was 12/18/2012. You won't believe that was the last I heard from this lawyer. He never got back to me, he never returned my phone calls, he never replied my emails to this day - almost 2 months and counting. He suddenly became a phantom to me. As if he was non-existent in the first instance. I have no problems if he changed his mind about taking up my case. That's not unusual. But would expect he'd be professional enough to tell me straight up, instead of allowing precious time to pass by. I was really disappointed by his attitude and I certainly won't recommend him to anyone I know. Big shame on Stuart J Reich!

Three years after my first H1B visa (you can see initial review under the title 'Excellent lawyer!'), I had the pleasure to work again with Stuart for the H1B renewal for another three years.

As he had been before, Stuart has been available for all my doubts and questions, very helpful during all the process and could almost make you think that getting a work visa for the USA is actually very easy, when in truth it's far from it.

After another round of paperwork and appointment, I received today my passport with my new H1B stamped visa .We definitely couldn't have made it without his tremendous help.

As I did three years ago, I strongly recommend this lawyer for anyone who would need help for immigration in USA, this is someone you would definitely want at your side in this process!

Stuart Reich is extremely professional and knowledgeable immigration lawyer. He also has absolutely striking ability to understand the material outside the immigration law scope -- my case was NIW-EB2 (in biomedical science), and Stuart did impressive job drafting recommendation and cover letters, including the scientific part.
The case was clearly presented, recommendation letters were clearly written, RFE was handled extremely fast and I140 was approved in a week after RFE was submitted (I need to clarify, that we had to submit RFE because USCIS missed out the evidences already submitted to them in the original application).
Because I had to change the employer with already approved I140, Stuart wrote great explanation letter to support I485 application, and I and my husband got green cards in almost no time and very smooth.
Also all immigration-related question me or my husband had for Stuart were answered very fast and accurate.
I highly recommend Stuart Reich if you need a lawyer for employment-based immigration cases.

This lawyer is excellent,when I went to MR Stuart office, I did not have any hope and clearly I was expecting the worse,my case was very difficult (Waiver of Ground of Inadmissibility) in order for this case to be approved,my lawyer have to base my case in the Extreme Hardship my husband and my dauhgter would suffer if I have to depart or if they have to move abroad with me in a third world country,very hard to prove when both are in very good health! Mr Stuart was very patience with me,emailing me at any time I have questions or concerns,even calling me if was necessarily,this Lawyer really cares about his clients,he did not tell me what I want
to hear,but I need to hear and what to be done in order for this case to be approved. Thanks to him my case was successful. Not only my waiver was approved I just received my Green Card last week.

I work in technology and was looking to get a green card. I checked out a few lawyers, but somehow Stuart seemed to be most knowledgeable and cost wise exactly where all the others were. And I was not disappointed:
1) He immediately knew what I needed
2) He was going through all my material, made him self familiar with my career and background down to all the details (we are talking laser physics here!)
3) Had solid advice how to proceed, was always available to any questions within a day (!)
4) Filing was a breeze
5) Helped me to hand in paperwork that passed through USCIS without one additional question. In record time.

I rest my case. So yes, I recommend him. My experience was extremely good. Check him out, you will see what I mean.

When my husband and I got married (faster than we were planning on so that he could get his Green-card), trusted friends of ours recommended Stuart, and we were thrilled that they did! Neither my husband nor I knew anything about the legal labyrinth we were about to enter and Stuart made it all feel incredibly simple, uncomplicated, and even a little fun. He was always prompt with communication (often answering emails just a few minutes after we sent them), offered expert advice, and completely prepared us for interview (which was the element for which we both had the most trepidation). We both highly and enthusiastically recommend him!

Very Professional. Highly recommended

Stuart is a very knowledgeable and professional immigration lawyer. My case was quiet complicated because of the mistake from my employer. I had to transfer from H1B to F1 to H1B. Stuart was patient with me and steered my case to the right path. It took me 2 months back to the track. I cannot make it work without Stuart. Appreciate it, Stuart!

I've worked with a few lawyers concerning immigration, but no one is as helpful as Stuart. My situation was particularly complicated, but Stuart was able to explain to me all the details and our action steps even despite a very short (and stressful!) time frame. Stuart's calm demeanor, paired with his expansive knowledge on immigrant visas, assured me that I was in the right hands. I could tell that he really cares about his clients, as he walked me through every step of the process. I highly recommend Stuart, and hope to work with him again in the future.

Five years ago, a respected business associate referred to me Stuart Reich. Since my business is headquartered in Los Angeles, I thought twice about engaging a New York-based attorney for my company’s immigration legal matters. Fortunately, I went forward and Stuart became our attorney. My experiences working with him have been excellent with superb legal outcomes.

My company has faced a range of employee immigration legal issues. Stuart has helped us with all of these cases in a responsive, knowledgeable, and “hands-on” manner.

Stuart knows how to move through cumbersome bureaucracies (where a misstep can literally put you in worse shape than where you started). Today’s immigration issues are anything but straight forward. They demand experienced, sound legal advice, and clear game plans.

Stuart has the rare ability to combine an expansive legal knowledge with practical, know-how. Still, he is keenly aware of his client’s time and expenditures. There is no waiting for days when you need a reply as he gets back to you promptly.

Recently, Stuart helped me with a family immigration issue. I almost never mix my business attorneys with personal legal matters. However, I did not hesitate for a minute in using Stuart – and he again achieved a successful outcome to a complicated bureaucratic legal problem.

I can, wholeheartedly and without any reservations, recommend Stuart Reich, attorney at law.

I found Mr. Reich through attorney rating website. I had my own issue related to my immigration petition and had to wait one year before initiating my petition with him. He was very kind and professional from the beginning, gave me all the answers and advice that I was concerned.
Once I started my case with him, I asked him to expedite with a rush basis due to my personal circumstance. He not only expedited my petition in a timely manner, but also he never missed to respond my email daily basis.
I've been dealing with many attorneys and Mr. Reich was certainly one of the best. He is kind, professional, pleasant, reliable counsel and I recommend whoever looking for their immigration counsel.

I'm very satisfied with his expertise and felt lucky to find him as my counsel. I strongly recommend anyone who's looking for an immigration counsel.

Stuart is probably my favorite lawyer: he helped my CTO with an H1B and myself with an O1. Even though both are tough visas to get, because of Stuart it really felt super simple.

Stuart took extensive time to explain and consult beforehand and during the process. Often I had questions that I had asked before and Stuart would explain it again and again, with a smile and new examples to make it clearer. I felt so welcome to voice my worries and concerns and always came out of the conversations with a clear understanding, feeling well taken care of.

Stuart was right with all his timing suggestions and follow ups so we would get our materials ready for specific deadlines.

I've already recommended Stuart to many of my friends and would always work with him again.

Stuart worked on my self-petitioned employment-based green card case, which was recently approved without requests for evidence. I so dreaded the application process that I postponed the matter until it was red-hot urgent, much like people postpone going to a dentist. Finally, after reading the reviews on Avvo, I decided to retain Stuart and was pleased to find out that these reviews were accurate.

Stuart handled my case competently and efficiently. First of all, Stuart is highly intelligent and knowledgeable, and this gave me confidence that my interests will be looked after in the best possible way. Stuart explains clearly and in plain language what needs to be done, when and why. Although my field of study is somewhat esoteric, Stuart wrote an impressive, yet easy to understand cover letter and presented extensive supporting evidence in a compelling way. After the case was submitted, Stuart answered my numerous questions about its progress, which was very helpful for maintaining my sanity in the long waiting game against USCIS.

Stuart is thorough and incredibly conscientious. He goes beyond the call of duty answering the client's questions promptly, thoughtfully and in great detail. He explains what is going on with the case and presents all available options and their consequences. Stuart is also compassionate and patient, even when the client occasionally freaks out. Last but definitely not least, Stuart is a decent human being, with good values and a healthy sense of humor. It was a pleasure to work with Stuart and obtain my permanent residency.

Stuart had handled my employment based permanent residency. Permanent residency is a very long and scary process but he handled the things extremely well from day one. He is been very quick to respond to any queries/concerns (even on week-ends) and thorough in his approach about next course of action. I was impressed seeing his in depth knowledge about the subject and communications skills. I am very happy way my case was handled by him and now long journey is finally complete as I am permanent resident. I have nothing but praise for him and his work. I am extremely satisfied by his services and highly recommend others.

When my wife and I decided to get married in Europe (I am American, she is European) we started looking into the best way to complete her immigration into the US. After spending some weeks educating ourselves we decided to hire an attorney, and we started to interview several. We picked the top three in the NYC area, as determined by a variety of professional rating services. From the start he was clearly vastly superior to the others.
Our situation was a little unusual due to my occupation keeping us traveling around the globe quite a bit. The other two attorneys we met with responded to our complicated situation with either confusion or slight trepidation. In sharp contrast Stu quickly grasp the details, and displayed excellent understanding of the situation. His knowledge and expertise immediately shown through, and was repeatedly on display during the entire process.
One particularly impressive note; he predicted the timing of events for the whole process from the start, not small feat when it comes to the timing involved in Permanent Residency. Now with the benefit of hind-sight we can see just how accurate he was. I believe this is directly related to his attention to detail.
However as impressive as his professional skills were, his communication skills were even more amazing. He was kind and competent in the way he conveyed information. His questions were tactful and helpful. He showed real concern every step of the way, and treated each and every one of our concerns as of utmost importance. Regardless of the time zones between us at any time he was there when we needed him. I would emphatically recommend him to anyone needing a top shelf immigration attorney!!!

I would say my immigration case is one the complicated one with H1 stamping, H1B visa refusal, very complicated USCIS NOIR (if something goes wrong, I would have been barred to enter US) and new H1b stamping. I was very nervous and contacted few attorney's to tell me what to do. After talking to attorney Stuart Reich, I was definetely relaxed. I decided to take his help and he was there to guide/help me through every step of the process. He is very knowledgable, very patient and very friendly. He answered all my questions in a very detailed manner. For his service, his legal fees is definetely quite affordable. I would strongly recommend him for any immigration questions !!

Thanks Attorney stu for all the help, I'm now in United States. You definetely get A++++.

Stuart Reich was of great help to me and my husband. Before contacting him we were feeling kind of lost and had many doubts about our situation.
We first spoke to him on the phone and immediately understood he was different from the other attorneys we had contacted so far. Stuart is very professional, clever, friendly and more then anything else human. Stuart makes you feel safe and comfortable because you are free to ask him any questions, talk about your situation in detail and clarify any small doubts. He never makes you feel like he is in a rush and he follows your case with care and real interest. You can always rely on him, for any issue or question you may have. He is always available on the phone and via e-mail and you will always receive notice from him with the exact instructions you need to follow in order to go through all the immigration process with confidence and peace of mind.

Stu assisted me with my change in immigration status and has been extremely professional and I would recommend his services to anyone. He answered in detail all of the intricate questions we had, and provided information to even prepare me for the future. I am very pleased with Stu and I hope he will continue to help me when I need his assistance down the years.
He truly made the immigration paperwork nightmare a breeze and my husband and I are very satisfied with his services.

My husband and I feel very fortunate that we came across Mr. Reich in our search for an immigration attorney. Out of the several lawyers we had initially contacted, Stu was the only one who responded in a timely fashion and with a detailed and encouraging message - and this is before we even met! Once we did meet, we could understand why he has so many positive reviews - Stu is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and just simply kind. While our case was not a terribly complex one, there still were a few nuances to be addressed, and Stu handled everything skillfully and made sure things progressed smoothly. He was always available - whether via phone, email, or in person, and he patiently and straightforwardly answered all the questions we had. His encouraging attitude and confident prognosis made our several-month wait much more bearable. We knew we could trust him, and we will recommend Stu to anybody looking for an immigration attorney. Frankly, I feel like many of today's immigration lawyers could learn a thing or two from Stu.

P.S. Did I also mention that Stu's legal services are quite affordable?

I found Stuart on this website and with his high review rate I decided l would give him a call. He graciously answered all of my questions, gave me tips and steered me in the right direction.. All without demanding any money like most lawyers would before even speaking to you. His sense of humor, down to earth personality and explaining things in a way that made them easy to understand were a breath of fresh air. Add in his vast knowledge of immigration law and he was a perfect choice. From day 1 my annoyingly often and million question emails were answered promptly and no question was unanswered. This process is long and daunting and Stuart made it easy. He has helped us with everything from paperwork, to payments made easy, taking a conference call while he was on vacation abroad, and even so far as to drop everything and attend a meeting with me to get an Emergency parole for a sick family member. Stuart has always gone above an beyond what I ever expected any lawyer to do for us. I have already recommended him to 2 of my friends looking for someone with his skills. In the end, I know we couldn't have done this with out him on our side. Long after this is over and his lawyer duties are over we will still keep in touch. He is a genuinely honest and kind man, which is hard to find in a lawyer. He is the BEST

Our experience with Stu was fantastic from start to finish. He walked us through the whole process thoroughly, in addition to answering every question we had accurately and promptly. Stu's knowledge of immigration laws is commendable. We highly recommend him.

I have worked with Stuart on my own immigration matters and have recommended him to others. I have been very impressed by Stu's attention to detail and preparation. He did a fantastic job of compling the paper work for my case. He made sure we presented all the facts as succinctly as possible and that they were backed with the relevant evidence.

Another great thing about having Stu is that he is available to you without the pressure of feeling that you are going to be billed for extra questions or concerns. I have mailed him at 12.30am at times and received a reply. And when he has been busy he has made the effort to let that be known.

I would recommend him solidly for immigration matters. I know i am going to continue using him to represent me as and when needed.

I went to Stuart after reading the reviews on this site. I have found him to be honest, fair, knowledgeable, timely and trustworthy. I wanted a lawyer who was going to get to the point and be honest with me. I felt that he was always sincere and I trusted that he would get the job done. I would have no problem recommending Stuart; certainly when I require further immigration help I will not hesitate in returning to him myself.

I worked with Stuart on an L1-A application and can say that he goes “beyond duty” to succeed: he studied my case and worked hard to get the application as complete and solid as possible addressing my questions with patience and clear responses; he took steps to get things moving even at his own expense. At the end I got an L1 approved and his professional knowledge of the law and USCIS processes played a decisive role. I recommend Stuart for anyone looking for a professional to handle any immigration issue: he is not only knowledgeable but also a kind person and gentleman.

I am impressed with Stu. I was researching on line about an immigration issue and I decided to ask Stu Reich in two different occasions. I got an answer very quick and even though I had a lawyer in Florida, I have to say that Stu answers were more clear, better responsiveness, and better customer service than my own attorney.

He really takes the time to answer your questions. If it is not because 10 days later after my question I got my Green Card, he would be my attorney.

I highly recommend him as he is very knowledgeable and gives you a lot of suggestions.

Stu recently handled my H1b case and it was really smooth.

He was very responsive and gave very detailed suggestions to my queries. I work in a small engineering consulting firm which had no previous experience with filing H1B for employee. In our first phone conversation, Stu did a very good job to educate my employers about the process. I am really impressed with his attention to details and responsiveness. I got real quick responses and his suggestions always addressed all conceivable scenarios and factors. He was always on top of the case. In fact, our firm had hard time keeping up with his pace.

I would highly recommend Stu to anyone needing immigration assistance and wish him all the best.

I had an immigration inquiry and Mr. Reich replied to my question surprisingly prompt. Not only that, I had a couple more questions and he replied to them promptly as well. What I am most appreciative about is that we don't even have a client-attorney relationship and he was willing to take some time off his busy schedule to address my questions. He made things clearer to me than my current attorney who will soon be a history. I am really quite impressed by Mr. Reich.

Highly recommended...
Stu is sincere. He answered my questions in all honesty and in a timely manner.
In my opinion he is a great lawyer.
Thanks again.

In 2007 I was searching online for Attorneys to advice me on my Immigration petition. I emailed a lot of lawyers, the first one to respond was Stuart J Reich, he answered my questions in details, our communication continued for the next few months and always he would answer my emails promptly and in details and he never asked me to pay him anything. Later on I took on Stuart as my immigration attorney, he is very affordable and very flexible in terms of paying his fees. I recently got my green card , in this long process, he was always there to answer my any and every question. He filed all my forms and took good care of my documents. If you ask me, Stuart is a simple, honest man with outstanding professional qualities and abilities. He can be fully trusted to do the right thing at the right time. I highly recommend him and wish him all the best. May God be with you Stuart..

Stuart has an excellent reputation as a Attorney, he represented my wife and I in an immigration case and he did a terrific Job!
He is efficient, honest, fair, knows his stuff and gives the best advice....hire him.

Very prompt, responsive, and honest. My issue was minor, so I did not really need to retain Stuart, but the interaction was very pleasant and highly informative.

I worked with Stu for over a year and my wife an I owe him so much. He is friendly extremely knowledgeable and even gave me marital advice on several occasions. I had visited a few lawyers before choosing him not so much because of his impeccable record or vast experience but because he treats his clients like more than a way to pay his rent. He even worked out a payment plan for me because of my status as a student. If you want someone who is willing to go the extra mile you should definitely check him out. I guarantee that by the end of the first meeting you won't be disappointed.

Stuart was instrumental in helping me secure a visa for one of my employees. He was very responsive and hard working and capable of answering my many questions about the process. In addition, because we are a young company, he was capable of handling many bumps in the road in order to successfully secure my employee a visa.

Prompt, precise and FREE Advice! What else one can ask for...I greatly appreciate your assistance! Many thanks and Lord Bless!

Stuart was easy to work with from the start, responsive and very thorough. We couldn't have hoped for a better lawyer, especially as our seemingly simple case fell into administrative complications and delays. Stuart was there at every step, never kept us waiting more than a few hours before returning our calls, keeping us informed at every stage and helping us find solutions at every step.
He was also very supportive and greatly helped us take delays in stride and find ways to not let them affect our lives. I will recommend him to anyone who is looking for an immigration lawyer!

I am French and asked Stuart Reich to help mo the H1B work visa. Thanks to its help and its expertise in immigration, I got it in 3 months. Stuart was very helpful all along the long way and give me excellent advice on everything, from the VISA to taxes in Florida. I strongly recommend this lawyer for anyone who would need help regarding their VISA.

Mr Reich was recomended to my husband and I from friends who were also extreamly happy with his service. Mr Reich proved to be highly profesional, knowledgeable and informative, displaying great attention to detail and allowing ample time to ask questions during every meeting and via email, he was also happy to provide reasurance.
We dealt solely with Mr Reich and did not have to wait days for his response nor deal with office staff or assistants.
Mr Reich was fully aware of our case and if a question arose which he could not answer straight away, he would work to solve our problem.
We highly recomend Mr Reich, both for legal and emotional support, as after feeling so nervous going into his office with so many questions we always felt that each question was addressed as though it was the most important question asked.
We are very grateful to have worked with Mr. Reich, throughout a very stressful experience he assisted at every point to make it as straightforward and as possible

Stuart Reich is an excellent Immigration Lawyer.
We have started working with him 4 years ago. He was the only one who took our request seriously and helped us finding a way to get a permanent residency visa. He took the time to look through our documents and answered our question without sending an agreement and a bill before we even knew whether we had a possible case or not. With his help we finally found the right category of visa to apply for a green card: an employment-based Extraordinary Ability visa!
He prepared all the documents, did thorough research and texted recommendation letters as needed. Stuart was always responsive, kept us informed.
Eventually in July 2008 we had the interview at the American Embassy in our home country and got the permanent residency visa into our passports. Meanwhile we got our green cards - thanks to Stuart Reich!

I recently had the pleasure of having Stuart handle my greencard application. Not only was he very knowledgeable, but he was extremely responsive. I very much appreciated receiving immediate responses, all of which always addressed the questions posed. Beyond the excellant ratings I have given him, I would also like to mention that Stuart is both personable and professional. All these qualities render him a great immigration lawyer and I will be recommending him to others.

Stuart is an outstanding lawyer! He has helped both my sister and I with our immigration statuses. I felt that he was extremely knowledgeable and understanding. He explained and walked us through the whole process that we were going to go through. The whole process was completed within the time frame that he given us. He tried various ways to prepare us, so that we were well-prepared and aware of what was to come.

Stuart handled my immigration case 4 years ago when I recently married my husband and needed my status changed. He walked us through the steps and kept us well informed. If we had any questions, he was always glad to assist us. Luckily, my case was approved fairly quickly and he even accompanied us to our interview. Stuart is smart and responsible. I have and will continue to recommend him to others.

Stuart recently assisted my wife and I with her entire immigration process: from Fiance' Visa to Green Card. Our situation was not entirely standard, and there were some issues that added extra layers of complexity to our case. Stuart handled the entire process with professionalism and care, making the paperwork manageable and educating us along the way. We always felt fully oriented about where we were in the process and what steps were lying ahead.

Bottom line: The Fiance; Visa and green card were obtained well within the time frames that Stuart had prepared us for, with no problems or issues delaying the process. We couldn't be happier.

I have and I will continue to recommend Stuart to any person or business who has need of a top-notch immigration attorney.

Mr. Reich was my immigration lawyer, appointed by my hiring company. Usually when you have a need for legal services, you search the market and try to make your best choice. I had no choice, but I couldn’t be happier with the appointed legal support I got from Mr. Reich.
I moved to USA late in 1999, when the high tech industry was extremely competitive, and applying for working visa was a long and complex process. Thanks to Me. Reich the process was invisible for me, all I needed to do is follow his directions, and he was very clear and articulate providing them, and done ! Within few months I started to work for IBM under H1B visa.
Mr. Reich was responsible for my immigration case for the years to follow, up until the point I was approved for permanent residency. Working closely with my management team, Mr. Reich was able to provide creative and fast solution to a very long and painful process.
Over the years, Mr. Reich was always available for any concern I had (and as you can imagine any immigrant will). Whether it was via phone or email, he always responded with hours (and yes he would work in weird hours of the day/night to make sure all is being addressed). His personal attention and focus made it very easy and I had full confidence in him.
If you in a need for immigration lawyer, Mr. Reich is you best choice ! Malkit

My husband and I were recommended to Stuart Reich by a coworker of mine. We are extremely happy with the services that he offered. He was able to answer all of our many questions, provide a wealth of information, and assist us in going through filing for permanent residency in such a way that made the whole process very easy and relatively painless. I have already recommended him to multiple people, and would definitely use him again. Stuart's vast knowledge, experience and friendly personality makes him a pleasure to work with.

I worked with Stuart Reich on a number of immigration issues over the last four years--from H1B visas to permanent residency. He offered first-rate, impeccable service. He was patient with my constant questions and provided outstanding communication every step of the way. He has my highest recommendation.

It gives me immense pleasure to recommend Mr. Stuart Rich.

My husband I arrived in the United States four years ago. We had to leave our three year old son in our country. We came to the United States seeking big opportunities but without legal documents it was almost impossible. Luckily we met Mr. Rich who worked very hard on our behalf and our case was completed successfully.

I find Mr. Rich to be a true professional, as well as honest and reliable.
Now my family is complete. We have documents, good jobs and most important, our son is with us.

Mr. Rich has changed our lives completely. I highly recommend him for any legal services. He is not only an excellent attorney but a brilliant person, with integrity and sound values.
